Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.130
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

between versions 0.130 and 0.133 the behaviour of update-initramfs -k all
-c changes considerably. In 0.130, this command would generate initrd
images for all kernels, in 0.133, it is a nop.

The reason is that get_sorted_versions now only lists kernels with
existing initrd images, which makes the -c option somewhat useless.

At least in our case this created unbootable systems after an upgrade to
buster.
